Chicken and Rice

Date: June 17, 2013

Recipe: http://www.dinneralovestory.com/chicken-and-rice-for-beginners/

Modifications:  Added a red pepper since we had some, and used one large onion. We did also have asparagus (as you can plainly see) but broiled it instead of mixing in as suggested in her commentary. Used chicken thighs.

Time to table: 45 minutes total, 20 minutes prep

Servings: Probably 5 adults

Notes: This is a good base recipe, easy for weeknights. It wasn’t anything too exciting, but we all liked it and there were no complaints from the kiddos. I always find it difficult to think of things besides burgers, hot dogs, brats, etc for summer meals. Hate to turn on the oven and on some nights even the stove is too much. Pasta salads are always good, but beyond that I draw a bit of a blank. Any suggestions for summer meals (VERY easy) are welcome!
